Once located, you will probably only see the top of the septic tank (the rest of the tank will be buried).
Septic tanks can be concrete, plastic or fiberglass and either rectangular, spherical or oblong in shape. Generally there are two lids located on the septic tank, one will be located over the inlet side and the other located on the outlet side of the tank. After locating the tank and lids it’s always a good idea to draw a diagram of the location and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
